Gallformers ID Notes
“
A cluster of 2-6 red oblong-globular galls attached to the lower midrib of Quercus mohriana. They are hairless, slightly pimpled with lighter spots, and have lobes of tissue that irregularly and slightly exceed the scar at their apex, surrounding it in short fleshy bracts. Turning and brown and gaining white spots of mold later in the season. Observed in Texas in October.
This may be Callirhytis vaccinii.
